Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

All the headlines should read: "Americans have paid over $150B for the Trump tariffs, so far" or $441 per person (if you count every person in the country, $580 if you just count adults)
But think of all the tax cuts for the rich they can finance with that!
At this point they've run out of tax cuts and they're just going with subsidies (welfare) for the rich.
Just half a year. End afaiu he isn't finished with tariffs yet. Would (or Will?) love to see the balance after one year.
I thought it was just July?
If I'm reading correctly July was a record month bringing the year total to 150B
